Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
A genuinely operational craft distillery with real copper pot stills and small-batch whiskey from an independent producer.
Not independently verified — estimatedIt was the first new distillery to open in Dublin city in over 125 years, giving it real authenticity.
Not independently verified — estimatedIt's smaller and less spectacle-driven than Jameson, so visitors wanting a big polished show can find it modest.
